We Now Return To Our Regularly Scheduled Riddle

Ok, looks like everyone is stuck, here is a hint:
Hypocrite = Judas

Of no use to one
Yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing.
The young man has to lie for it.
The old man has to buy it.
The baby's right,
The lover's privilege,
The hypocrite's mask.
To the young girl, faith;
To the married woman, hope;
To the old maid, charity.

What am I?
